It's not nearly as clean and soapy as Sparkling White Diamonds, and the scent is well-blended enough that you don't really pick out the individual notes so much as enjoy the overall gestalt. As I got on the elevator to go up to my floor a nicely suited older gentleman got on the elevator with me. The stand out florals in this are rose; in the form of rose oil, jasmine, lilac, heliotrope, and ylang ylang.

If you are living in an area where this has not really become a big hit, by all means - claim this one as your own! Other vibes it gives me is retro cosmetics and powder, rose soap, and again, a gourmand vibe via the peach. It is potent for being an edt in both persistence and sillage, I prefer to spray this on the mid of my body and on the wrist because it is so intense.As an aside, I highly doubt when Elizabeth Taylor was alive, she'd be caught dead wearing a fragrance like this. It's definitely the way it is described-warm spicy, and I get a fruity/peachy scent, along with a lot of powder. This was early in the gourmand days so you also get a ripe juicy peach, which was Liz Taylor's favorite fruit and which appears often in other Elizabeth Taylor fragrances (i. It reminds me somewhat of Spellbound, but not totally, and also of Vintage Red Door, the one from the 80's and 90's (the present formulation of Red Door is awful, and cannot be counted).

This has also been noted by others, both directly using the word chypre and by describing a "camphorous" or medicinal aspect to it. But within half an hour the heart and base had developed into an extraordinary fragrance very warm, sensual and full of Eastern promise. Me auld nostrils filled with the deliciousness of rosy spiced peach, creamed with almond and vanilla, enveloped in resins and cedar! Though I am generally not a fan of designer scents, however the ET ones stand out as one of the better. Someday hopefully Ill give this a true few days to wear and see if it grows upon me, or I'm sure someone I know will love it and I can gift them the 3.Disclaimer: (And No, I am not reviewing this now as a symbol of support for any political parties that identify with this color.

Boozy very spiced peaches , sweet but not overwhelmingly so, sophisticated, sexy, glamorous, refined, a great work by Sophia Grojsman.

I have the vintage parfum in the gold bow bottle, which came in a coffret with three additional ET fragrances. Diamonds and Rubies and Hermès Rouge also both convey an abstract nostalgia that echoes more history than the years of their releases would reflect. I love the Packaging in a Red Box and the 'White Diamonds' bottle design with diamond cuff around the bottom of the lid. I think the almond comes off very bitter on my skin and when first sprayed, and that makes the spices somewhat off putting to my nose. Where the sweetness in Tentations is that of peaches preserved in alcohol, the sweetness here is more of a peach and rose jam.
